Where do IPs come from?

[TheDon16]

Out of curiosity... Where do IPs come from?

When I buy them bulk, where do the providers get them from, at what cost, etc...?

From the IP gnomes of course.

Some are from Washington DC (Birthplace of Al Gore) but nowadays imported from Taiwan and Bangalore. Fucking outsourcing.

RIPE (europe), ARIN (USA), LATNIC (Latin America), etc. There are like 5 main allocators of IP's worldwide. Each for a different area/continent. They are all non-profit organizations that are the mother nodes of the internet.
